WHEN GRANNY COMES A CALLING

-



















AS SALAM

MY MA- IN -LAW CAME 2 DAYS AGO TO  VISIT HER GRANDSON. SO, IT'S ONLY HER AND HIM DURING THE DAY WHEN ALL OF US ARE OUT WORKING.

SO, MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BRING HER OUT WITH THE REST OF US FOR DINNER. WE WENT TO NICE RESTAURANT NOT FAR FROM HOME.

SHE ORDERED AN XL MURTABAK, 3 VARIATIONS, RED BONE SOUP (SO I THOUGHT!) . I HAD BERIANI KAMBING (ON A LARGE PLATE, A HUGE SERVING), GRANNY HAD NASI GORENG DAGING MERAH, AND ZAZA ORDERED NASI GORENG KAMPUNG.

IT DIDN'T TAKE US LONG TO FINISH ALMOST EVERYTHING(THERE ARE 11 OF US). SURPRISINGLY, MY SON AND HIS WIFE CAME ALONG TO JOIN US. THEY ARE BOTH WORKING, AT ODD HOURS AND IT IS ALMOST DIFFICULT TO HAVE THEM TAGGED ALONG TO ALL FAMILY OUTINGS! I GUESS GRANNY IS LUCKY THIS TIME....BUT 2 OF MY SONS ARE UNABLE TO JOIN AS THEY ARE STILL WORKING.
ZAZA WITH GREAT GRANNY
RED BONE SOUP
ENJOYING IN STYLE

WHAT IS LEFT!

AS SALAM, I WENT TO A PASAR MALAM NEARBY, JUST ABOUT 5 MINS DRIVE FROM HOME. AND OFTEN. THERE'S ONE TYPE OF FISH WHICH WE USUALLY FIND BACK IN THE KAMPUNG AND VERY RARE HERE. BUT THIS PASAR MALAM HAVE IT EVERY WEEK. WE COOK THIS FISH IN MANY WAYS. SOUP, FRIED DIPPED IN FLOUR, ASAM PEDAS KUNYIT. AND WE EVEN HAVE SALAI IKAN LUMEK. MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS MENU. THIS FISH LOOKS VULNERABLE WITH SOFT AND TRANSPARENT FLESH BUT TOUGH MIDDLE BONE AND SHARP UGLY TEETH, WHICH OF COURSE WE DON'T EAT. IF YOU FIND THIS FISH IN THE MARKET, DON'T HESITATE TO BUY. JUST FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE MENU: FOR 1 KG FRESH FISH, CUT THIN SLICES 3 RED ONIONS, 2 GARLICS CRUSH AND CHOPPED, THIN STRIPES OF ABOUT I THUMB OF GINGER, 1 CUBE CHIC STOCK. ALL FRIED TILL WANGI YELLOW AND POUR ABOUT 1 LIT WATER. ADD MORE IF YOU ARE A SOUP LOVER. WHEN SOUP IS BOILING ADD IN SALT & FLAVOR AND FISH. JUST AS SOUP IS ABOUT TO BOIL AGAIN ADD IN LADA PUTIH AND CHOPPED DAUN KETUMBAR/SUP/BWG. COVER POT AND SWITCH OF
